Car For Sale By Owner
Car For Sale by Owner
By Elton Camp
With a used car dealer’s unsavory reputation
The ad, “For sale by owner” is a temptation
But if you decide to go this route, take care
Remember the caution, “Let the buyer beware”
In such a case there’s not any implied guarantee
If it breaks down at once, it’s out of luck you be
The owner says that, “Once a week it was used”
But not that his teenage son the car badly abused
A superficial look and you might not suspect
That five times the car was in a major wreck
And last time, the car was fixed by his brother
Front from one car and the back from another
If the seller mentions he’s active in his church
Get ready to be cheated and left in the lurch
So buy a car from an individual if you must
But always verify and never ever dare to trust
